This IDC study examines the drivers and impact of storage in an increasingly virtualized IT environment. It provides insights into the forces driving these developments and defines the major market and use case segments for storage and virtualized environments.

"Architecting, provisioning, and managing storage in virtualized server and desktop environments will be critical as IT transforms itself from a compute-centric to an information-centric function. Understanding the role storage plays and how it is integrated can be a defining factor in the success or failure of IT strategy in 2010 and beyond." — Benjamin S. Woo, vice president, Storage Systems
